Peter Scolari was not initially invited to the Ball this year, and yet he still went home with the Gold Prince named Emmy yesterday at the Creative Emmys.
Another Peter, Peter MacNichol, was originally nominated for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series, but he was disqualified when it was determined that he had been in a little more than 50% of Veep’s episodes. Therefore, they replaced him with the Bosom Buddies star for his work as Dunham’s dad on Girls. You would think that Scolari’s chances of winning would be slim, but he won his first Emmy after nearly 40 years of making us laugh on shows like Buddies, Newhart (which he received 3 nominations) and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
Congrats on finally winning, it has been a long time coming and much deserved.
Can I tell you a little secret, I have had a crush on him ever since I first saw him on Bosom Buddies? Thus, I am so excited for him!
